Brendan Bi;acken, Conservative, today, in a strong attaek on tlie Uoverniuent during a speecli at Fljntsbire. Iie said tlie British geniiis i'or trading was pot dead. It was chained by tlie- Hocialists who were doing everything to discourage marketing, bfinking and activities that made tiie nation prospei'ons. Iie, said some i'oreig eritics : and some leaders ot' Socialists oTttm eondemned British indnstrialists for allowing plants to beeome obsolete. AJucli of the obsolete ])lant in Britain was due to (Jovermnent greed and not the unwillingness of the employer to serap plant. Critics should romendrer that 'Britain's powerful eompetitors' had not been ]ilaeed at a disadvantage like Britain by overtaxation of company roserves.
